United Way CEO Patrick Powell confirmed Monday that Graves has never served on its board of directors. But the agency's records show that from the late 80s to the early 90s, he served on a "board-level committee" -- the "campaign cabinet" that organizes the charity's annual fundraising drive.

Campaign manager Adam Graves said Graves put together the list of his community service activities long before he ever thought of running for public office, and when the Republican charges came to light, he admitted he wasn't sure in retrospect whether his United Way work was a board or a committee.

"When I asked him about it, he said, 'well, let's just change the website,'" Adam Graves said, adding that the campaign is preparing a full response to the other GOP allegations as well.

“Jim Graves got caught red-handed. When you sit on a board, you go to board meetings. It’s a pretty simple thing to remember. It’s dishonest and wrong for Jim Graves to claim he sat on a board of a charity when it is clearly not the case,” campaign manager Chase Kroll said in a statement. “If Jim Graves isn’t telling the truth about being on the board of a charity, what else is he not telling the truth about?”

A Duluth native who just barely lost Virginia's GOP gubernatorial primary said that politicians have not gone far enough in condemning the left for violence during a rally of white nationalists in Charlottesville. "I think that the left is going to try to use this as an excuse to crack down on conservative free speech," said Corey Stewart. "I think they're going to try to use this as an excuse to remove more historical monuments."
